Etching made easy!

Hello! It's Monday and time for a weekend project review!

I decided to try my hand at etching. Sweet Melissa and I took a class a couple summers ago, and I'd never tried it since. I found some glassware at the thrift store, and realized if my idea didn't turn out, hey, I wouldn't be "out" alot of money.

These are the glasses I found. Aged to perfection.

After taping off the desired area for my "design" (and I use this word lightly) I added various letters, symbols and numbers from my scrapbooking stash. No particular order, but I tried to space them about the same distance apart.

Once the stickers were on, I followed the directions on the Armor Etch Cream. The cream was applied very thick as recommended.

Like I said...put on quite thick.

Left on for about a minute, and washed off the cream in warm water...I love the way they turned out - none are the same!

They are perfect for a cocktail or an ice cream sundae - I'm lovin' them so much, I may try to do more!
